v 7.14.1  
I'm trying to create a roll-up job on v 7.14.1  
Whatever I try, like:

```auto
PUT _rollup/job/logs_job_test
{
  "id": "logs_job_test",
  "index_pattern": "clientname*-webaccess-*",
  "rollup_index": "rollup_clientname",
  "cron": "0 * * * * ?",
  "page_size": 1000,
  "groups": {
    "date_histogram": {
      "interval": "60m",
      "delay": "1d",
      "time_zone": "UTC",
      "field": "@timestamp"
    }
  }
}

```

When trying to save any job it says:

> Request failed with a 500 error. Could not create index for rollup job [logs\_job\_test]

What am I doing wrong?  
This exact same job does work on V 6.5.4

Hi @dicko! Can you clarify if you are trying to create the rollup job through the rollup jobs UI in Kibana or directly via the Elasticsearch API?

Also, I'm not sure if this is causing the issue, but I don't believe `id` is a valid field. Here's an example request from our docs: [Create rollup jobs API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.14/rollup-put-job.html#rollup-put-job-api-example).
